Agendus for iPhone Now Makes it Easier to Organize Life

SAN JOSE, CA – Iambic, Inc., a pioneer in the development of mobile productivity software, has released an update to the version of its Agendus personal information manager (PIM) for iPhone and iPod touch users. The new version of Agendus offers significant interface updates designed to help users better manage their time and to-do list each day.

Agendus, an award-winning calendaring and time management solution popular on all major smartphone platforms, integrates a user’s Calendar, Contacts and Task List into one application. Building on its record of helping people juggle both their work and personal lives, Agendus 2.2 has added features designed to make it easier to see what’s most pressing and important on the user’s daily agenda.

Agendus for iPhone now enables users to assign icons to Events and Tasks making it easier to identify them. Also, Agendus offers users the ability to go to today’s events or scheduled tasks by a simple shake of the device when in any Calendar view.

Agendus further provides users with the option to auto-adjust their Day view to the current time, providing only the upcoming scheduled events. Likewise, the List View now auto-adjusts to the current date so scheduled future events are brought to the top of the screen.

This update to Agendus builds on the complete redesign of the app in the recently launched Agendus 2.0, which included an entirely new user interface featuring new graphics, easier navigation throughout the app, improved layout of preferences and an overall visual facelift.  This version also introduced new Calendar Views, a Birthday View and Push Notifications for event alerts.

Agendus is available in the iTunes App Store for US$7.99. For more information, visit Iambic’s website is www.iambic.com.
